After enjoying the healthy mountain air you can surprise your kids with a city visit? The old town of Vienna and the Schönbrunn palace with accompanying gardens are one of Unesco's world heritage sites - a must see!!! Maybe take a trip to the baroque town of Salzburg or the modern 'City of Design' - Graz!! its fantastic art gallery is an example of the creativity of this modern city.
